The structure is one storey high with an attic, and it has two dormer windows, each with decorative glazing bars in the right-hand light. On the ground floor, there are two three-light casement windows that also have decorative glazing bars. The left side of the building has a small casement window on the first floor and a six-light stone mullioned and transomed window.
